on: Pioneering study finds more than 200,000 rats in Barcelona’s sewers
Off topic, but you really think there arnt automatic turrets, seems very feasible today, especially in a situation like a sewer where you really dont have to worry about shooting the wrong (moving) thing.

on: U.S. To Seek Social Media Details from All Visa Applicants
I'll say that wasn't my experience, it was just about trying to verify my position, but maybe they decided to look into other stuff, they certainly didnt tell me or take my phone.

Doesn't some other countries already do this? I was asked about my LinkedIn for a work visa in Canada.

Can you restate that? I'm not sure what you're saying tbh. You want intraday news on bonds or some other security?

on: Intel Confronts Potential ‘PR Nightmare’ With Reported Chip Flaw
Small correction, but generally someone like that exercises their options and sells them for profit, keeping their shares that they've had since whenever. In this case, he exercised the options, sold those shares, and then lowered the amount of shares he had beyond that to the absolute minimum (250k).

on: Bitcoin Futures Could Open the Floodgates for Institutional Investors
Also from the first link:
Popular Physical Delivery futures contracts include (but are not limited to) CME Currencies (Euro, JPY, & GPB), CBOT Treasuries (2 yr, 5yr, 10 yr, & 30 yr), NYMEX Energies (Crude Oil, Natural Gas, RBOB Gasoline, & Heating Oil), CME Live Cattle, CBOT Grains (Corn, Wheat, Soybeans, Soybean Meal, Soybean Oil, Rice, and Oats), COMEX Metals (Gold, Silver, & Copper), and ICE Softs (Sugar, Cotton, Cocoa, Coffee and OJ).
There are plenty of physical delivery futures still in existence.

on: Incredible shrinking airline seat
It also makes it hard for people like me who are far above the average height to even fit in a seat. If I'm forced to travel for work, I have to either be very uncomfortable or pay out of my pocket because the company doesn't want to pay for first class. My knees dig into that little metal rod the seat back pouches have or they go into the armrest in front of me, it's absurd how small cabins are now.

Wow, not the same thing at all as the airline disclosing it up front. I should not have to go looking at third party sites for information like that.

Not to speak to the other coins, but isn't BTC at all time highs?

on: Winn-Dixie ordered to update website for the blind
It worked once in medievalish Italy (not sure how you classify the period going from ~0-1800 A.D.). All houses had to be a certain color, for instance. I think it looked kinda cool, but obviously choice is often considered the greatest of all goods.

He was like essential hip college freshman reading, which often comes with being hated for being popular, weird, abstract, etc. I havn't actually read the book, but I've certainly heard about it.

Can you elaborate? What is humanity's idea of happiness, and who/what are we potentially enforcing it on?

on: Too Much Experience to Be Hired? Some Older Americans Face Age Bias
I agree with your response, but you could probably assume someone would make it 2 weeks, couldn't you? Aren't there laws about hiring and having to pay for the first 2 weeks or something, or am I just making that up?

That seems like a lot, I didn't think he was worth that much, maybe I'm undervaluing his net worth. Is there a value for that anywhere?

on: Turning CO2 to Stone
I do think it's an important idea that fossil fuels should be seen as a stepping stone. They're not useful forever, but using them for too long is bad for all of us, and not being able to use them without a comparable alternative is an equally awful situation.

on: Why we should all have a basic income
I just simply dont agree. I'd be perfectly happy to do what I pleased everyday if I could. I'm not a huge fan of having to meet deadlines or any of the many little tasks that come with having to work. I think it's truly strange that people are afraid of not having work because it means they will be listless.

on: Gene Cernan has died
I have no clue how the money for space exploration is allocated, but they could possibly put that money into the things the GP (did I use that right) said. I think a better use would be to perhaps continue funding small explorations as we've done, but put the brakes on something like actually colonizing another planet, moon, satellite, etc. I agree that we have plenty to deal with here.

He really didn't say that at all, do you not believe in transparency of the government?
